Mujoco can't find files when placed in a non-home directory: /opt/mujoco-py/mujoco_py/cymj.c:798:10: fatal error: mjmodel.h: No such file or directory

[Deepakgthomas]

Hi,

I'm a student and I'm trying to use MuJoCo for research. However, I am constrained such that I need to use mujoco-py instead of mujoco. I understand that this post is related to mujoco-py instead of mujoco but was hoping that someone from the community could kindly help me. Please let me know if such posts are against the rules and I'll delete it.

I am using Docker and I'd like to store my Mujoco files in a non home (/opt/ instead of /~)directory. To ensure that Mujoco can find my files I did the following -

ENV PATH="/opt/.mujoco/mjpro150:$PATH"
ENV MJLIB_PATH /opt/.mujoco/mjpro150/bin/libmujoco150.so
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/.mujoco/mjpro150/bin
ENV MUJOCO_PY_MJPRO_PATH /opt/.mujoco/mjpro150/
ENV MUJOCO_PY_MUJOCO_PATH /opt/.mujoco/mjpro150/
ENV MUJOCO_PY_MJKEY_PATH /opt/.mujoco/mjkey.txt

Here is my entire Dockerfile for your reference -

I am a bit of a newbie so please pardon my silly mistakes.
